In my semen analysis, my sperm count was nil. I have done a scrotum scan, which was normal. I have also done tests for LH, FSH, and testosterone. What is this issue called, and is it curable?

Nil sperm count in semen analysis is called azoospermia. Since your scrotum scan is normal, hormone tests (LH, FSH, Testosterone) will help check if it is due to hormonal imbalance or a blockage. Some causes of azoospermia are treatable depending on the reason. Consult an andrologist or fertility specialist for further evaluation and treatment options.

Hello, I have had varicocele for many years and sometimes I thought of getting it corrected but I came to know about complications as well. I do not have pain or discomfort but it occurs only if I do intense workout, so I stopped that and started doing light workout. My main issue is reduced fertility as I do not feel as aroused as before varicocele. I do get nightfall once or twice in a week. Reduced fertility and mental disturbances bother me and I sometimes feel underconfident while speaking with someone. Please check my report and advise based on the report?

Hi Doctor, I took Saw Palmetto and Beta Sitosterol 500 mg to reduce my DHT. Since then, I have been experiencing sexual problems. I consulted a urologist who found my testicles are slightly small in size and volume by USG and Doppler. My testosterone level is 3.38 ng/ml. SHBG and diabetes levels are normal. I do not have anxiety. I can get an erection during masturbation, but the problem is that my testicles are small, I have no libido, and I do not ejaculate properly, it is just one drop. I have been facing this problem since I took Saw Palmetto. I stopped taking it, but the side effects are still the same. Should I go for hCG therapy or TRT? Whom should I consult, a urologist or an endocrinologist?
